A method of separating actinium and/or radium from proton-irradiated thorium metal. The thorium metal is irradiated to produce isotopes including thorium, actinium and/or radium. The resultant product is dissolved in solution and a selective precipitant is used to precipitate a bulk portion of the thorium. The precipitated thorium can be recovered. Chromatography is carried out on the remaining solution to remove residual thorium and to separate the actinium from the radium.

Systems, apparatus and methods for separating actinium, radium, and thorium

A system for producing technetium-99m from molybdate-100. The system comprises: a target capsule apparatus for housing a Mo-100-coated target plate; a target capsule pickup apparatus for engaging, and delivering the target cell apparatus into a target station apparatus; target station apparatus for receiving and mounting therein the target capsule apparatus. The target station apparatus is engaged with a cyclotron for irradiating the Mo-100-coated target plate with protons. The irradiated target capsule apparatus is transferred to a receiving cell apparatus comprising a dissolution/purification module for receiving therein a proton-irradiated Mo-100-coated target plate. A conveyance conduit infrastructure interconnects: (i) the target capsule pickup apparatus with the target station apparatus, (ii) the target station apparatus and the receiving cell apparatus; and (iii) the receiving cell apparatus and the dissolution/purification module.

Processes, systems, and apparatus for cyclotron production of technetium-99m

A target system for irradiation of molybdenum with charged particles from an accelerator to produce technetium and molybdenum radioisotopes. The target system comprises a molybdenum-100 material brazed with a brazing alloy to a backing material. The backing material preferably comprises a dispersion-strengthened copper composite. The brazing alloy comprises copper and phosphorus.

Target system for irradiation of molybdenum with particle beams

Systems and methods for separation or isolation of technetium radioisotopes from aqueous solutions of radioactive or non-radioactive molybdate salts using a polyalkyl glycol-based cross-linked polyether polymer. Some embodiments can be used for the effective purification of radioactive technetium-99m produced from low specific activityMo.

Process and apparatus for separation of technetium-99M from molybdate

A system and method for producingF-Fluoride by using a proton beam to irradiateOxygen in gaseous form. The irradiatedOxygen is contained in a chamber that includes at least one component to which the producedF-Fluoride adheres. A solvent dissolves the producedF-Fluoride off of the at least one component while it is in the chamber. The solvent is then processed to obtain theF-Fluoride.
